The last time two Phillies pitchers won at least 17 games was back in 1980 when Steve Carlton won 24 and Dick Ruthven won 17. There were times during the 2011 season when the Roy Halladay-Cliff Lee tandem was unstoppable and the duo provided the bulk of the team's pitching highlights throughout the year. (Of course, Lee couldn't hold a four-run lead in the NLDS, but I'm slowly forgiving him for that.)
Cole Hamels should have had at least four or five more wins if not for poor run support. Injuries hampered Roy Oswalt's season, as his 9-10 record put a serious crimp in that whole "Four Aces" thing.
Here's the Phillies top ten in wins for 2011:
1. Roy Halladay - 19
2. Cliff Lee - 17
3. Cole Hamels - 14
4. Vance Worley - 11
5. Roy Oswalt - 9
6. Kyle Kendrick - 8
7. Michael Stutes - 6
7. Antonio Bastardo - 6
9. Ryan Madson - 4
10. Danys Baez - 2
